Introduction
We consider only finite groups. It is well known what role is played the properties of normalizers of the primary subgroups (local subgroups) in classification of finite simple non-abelian groups. In recent years, local subgroups are actively used in the study of non-simple, in particular, soluble groups.
In 1986 it was established [1] that a group is nilpotent if the normalizers of its Sylow subgroups (briefly, Sylow normalizers) are nilpotent.
Groups with supersoluble Sylow normalizers were studied in [2-4]. A series of papers [5-9] is dedicated to the study of groups whose all the Sylow normalizers belong to a saturated formation F.
In this paper, we are interested in the following question.
How do the properties of embedding of Sylow normalizers into a group influence on the structure of the whole group?
We note the following results. Group G
is nilpotent if and only if its any Sylow
normalizer coincide with G. By the well-known Glauberman’s theorem [10], if all Sylow subgroups of a group are self-normalizing, then the group is a p-group for some prime p.
Let H be a subgroup of a group G. Consider a chain of subgroups
H\mathchar61H0≤H1≤⋯≤ Hn\mathchar451≤Hn\mathchar61G. (1)
According to [11], H is called P-subnormal in G if either H\mathchar61G or there exists a chain (1) such that
∣Hi:Hi\mathchar451∣ is a prime for any i\mathchar611,…,n;
According to [12], H is called K-P-subnormal in G if there exists a chain (1) such that either Hi\mathchar451⊴Hi, or ∣Hi:Hi\mathchar451∣ is a prime for any i\mathchar611,…,n.
In [13] V.S. Monakhov and V.N. Kniahina established that a group G is supersoluble if and only if all its Sylow normalizers are P-subnormal in G.
A subgroup H is called submodular in G [14], if there exists a chain of subgroups
(1) such that Hi\mathchar451 is a modular subgroup in Hi for i\mathchar611,…,s.
Here the modular subgroup in G is a modular element in the lattice of all subgroups of G [15].
The class sU of all strongly supersoluble groups was studied in [16]
(sU is the class of supersoluble groups,
in which all Sylow subgroups are submodular). By [17, Theorem 3.2], if the normalizers of all Sylow subgroups of a group G are submodular, then G∈sU.
The concept of subnormality was generalized by T.O. Hawkes [18], L.A. Shemetkov [19] as follows.
Let F be a non-empty formation. A subgroup H is called F-subnormal in G
(which is denoted by H
F-sn G),
if either H\mathchar61G, or there exists a maximal chain (1) such that HiF≤Hi\mathchar451
for i\mathchar611,…,n.
In the case when F coincides with the class N of all nilpotent
groups, every N-subnormal subgroup is
subnormal, the converse is not true in general. However, in soluble groups these concepts are equivalent.
Another generalization of subnormal subgroups was proposed by O. Kegel [21]. We give it according to [20, p. 236].
A subgroup H is called K-F-subnormal in G (which is denoted by
H K-F-sn G) if
there is a chain of subgroups (1) such
either Hi\mathchar451⊴Hi, or HiF≤Hi\mathchar451 for i\mathchar611,…,n.
Note that a subnormal subgroup is K-F-subnormal in any group, the converse is not always true. For the case F\mathchar61N the concepts of subnormal and
K-N-subnormal subgroups are equivalent.
If F coincides with the class U of all supersoluble groups, then the concept of P-subnormal subgroup is equivalent to the concept of U-subnormal and K-U-subnormal subgroup in the class of all soluble groups.
In an arbitrary group, every U-subnormal (K-U-subnormal)
subgroup is P-subnormal (K-P-subnormal subgroup, respectively), but the converse fails in general.
The monograph [21] reflects the results of many papers in which the properties of F-subnormal, K-F-subnormal subgroups and their applications were studied.
In [22] consideration of the following general problem was started.
Let F be a non-empty formation.
How F-subnormal (K-F-subnormal) Sylow subgroups
influence on the structure of the whole group.
The classes WπF and WπF were investigated in [23]; where WπF (WπF) is the class of all groups G, for which 1 and all Sylow p-subgroups are F-subnormal (respectively K-F-subnormal) in G for every p∈π∩π(G).
The classes WF and WF (π coincides with the set of all primes) were studied in [24-27]. An interesting generalization of classes WπF and WπF was considered in
[28].
Definition 1 [29]. *Let F be a non-empty formation. A subgroup H of a group G
is called strongly K-F-subnormal in G,
if NG(H) is a F-subnormal subgroup in G.
*
Note that a subgroup is normal in its normalizer. Therefore every strongly K-F-subnormal subgroup is K-F-subnormal in any group. The converse is not true.
Let S be a symmetric group of degree 3.
By [29, theorem B. 10.9] S has an irreducible and faithful S-module U over the field F7 of 7 elements.
Consider the semidirect product G\mathchar61[U]S. The group G is not supersoluble, because S is non-abelian.
Since G/U is supersoluble, we see that H\mathchar61UQ is K-U-subnormal subgroup of G,
where Q is a Sylow 3-subgroup of G that is contained in S. Since H is supersoluble, we deduced that Q is K-U-subnormal in G. Note that the subgroup Q is not strongly K-U-subnormal in G. This follows from the fact that NG(Q)\mathchar61S, but S is not normal and not U-subnormal in G.
Definition 2 [29]. *Given a set of primes π and a non-empty formation F. Introduce the following class of groups:
wπ∗F is the class of all groups G, for which π(G)⊆π(F) and all its Sylow q-subgroups are strongly F-subnormal in G for every q∈π∩π(G).
*
When π\mathchar61P is the set of all primes, we denote
wP∗F\mathchar61w∗F. If π(G)⊆π(F) and π∩π(G)\mathchar61∅,
then NG(1)\mathchar61G is F-subnormal in G and G∈wπ∗F.
Problem. Let F be a hereditary saturated formation
and π be some set of primes.
(1)* Investigate how the properties of the class wπ∗F depend on the corresponding properties of F.
In particular, find conditions under which the class wπ∗F is also a saturated formation;*
(2)* Describe F for which wπ∗F\mathchar61F.
*
This paper is devoted studying for some cases of this problem.
1. Preliminary results
We use standard notation and definitions. The appropriate information on groups theory and formations theory can be found in monographs [19], [20] and [30].
We recall some concepts significant in the paper.
By P we denote the set of all primes. If π⊆P, then π′\mathchar61P∖π.
Let G be a group and p be a prime.
We denote by ∣G∣ the order of G;
by π(G), the set of all prime divisors of ∣G∣;
by Op(G), the largest normal p-subgroup of G;
by Oπ(G), the largest normal π-subgroup of G;
by Sylp(G), the set of all Sylow p-subgroups of G;
by Syl(G), the set of all Sylow subgroups of G;
by F(G), the Fitting subgroup of G, which is the largest normal nilpotent subgroup of G;
by Fp(G), the p-nilpotent radical of G, which is the largest normal p-nilpotent subgroup of G;
by Zp, the cyclic group of order p;
by 1, the identity subgroup (group).
By lp(G) we denote the p-length of the p-soluble group G;
an arithmetic length of the soluble group G is al(G)\mathchar61Maxlp(G), where p runs through all primes p∈π(G);
La(n) is the class of all soluble groups G with al(G)≤n;
La(1) is the class of all soluble groups G with al(G)≤1.
In the next lemma, the some familiar properties of Sylow subgroups are collected.
Lemma 1.1. Let G be a group and p∈P. Then the following statements are true.
(1)* If P∈Sylp(G) and N⊴G, then
P∩N∈Sylp(N) and
PN/N∈Sylp(G/N), moreover NG/N(PN/N)\mathchar61NG(P)N/N.*
(2)* If H/N∈Sylp(G/N) and N⊴G, then H/N\mathchar61PN/N for some P∈Sylp(G).*
(3)* If P∈Syl(G) and Ni⊴G, i\mathchar611,2, then*
P∩N1N2\mathchar61(P∩N1)(P∩N2) and PN1∩PN2\mathchar61P(N1∩N2).*
(4)* If π(G)\mathchar61{p1,…,pr} and Pi∈Sylpi(G) for
i\mathchar611,…,r, then G\mathchar61⟨P1,…,Pr⟩. *
Lemma 1.2 [30, lemma A.1.2] Let U, V and W be subgroups of G. Then the following statements are equivalent:
(1)* U∩VW\mathchar61(U∩V)(U∩W);*
(2)* UV∩UW\mathchar61U(V∩W).
*
Proposition 1.3.
Let G be a group, P∈Syl(G) and Ni⊴G, i\mathchar611,2. Then
NG(P)∩N1N2\mathchar61(NG(P)∩N1)(NG(P)∩N2) and*
NG(P)N1∩NG(P)N2\mathchar61NG(P)(N1∩N2).*
Proof. We proceed by induction on ∣G∣. Let N1 and N2 be normal subgroups of G and P∈Syl(G). If N1∩N2=1, then there exist a minimal normal subgroup N of G, contained in N1∩N2. By induction
NG/N(PN/N)∩N1/N⋅N2/N\mathchar61(NG/N(PN/N)∩N1/N)(NG/N(PN/N)∩N2/N).
By Lemma 1.1(1) NG/N(PN/N)\mathchar61NG(P)N/N. By the Dedekind identity, we have
NG(P)N/N∩N1N2/N\mathchar61(NG(P)∩N1N2)N/N and
NG(P)N/N∩Ni/N\mathchar61(NG(P)∩Ni)N/N for i\mathchar611,2.
Then NG(P)∩N1N2\mathchar61NG(P)∩(NG(P)N∩N1N2)\mathchar61NG(P)∩(NG(P)∩N1)N⋅(NG(P)∩N2)N\mathchar61(NG(P)∩N1)(NG(P)∩N2)(NG(P)∩N)\mathchar61(NG(P)∩N1)(NG(P)∩N2).
Let N1∩N2\mathchar611. Let T\mathchar61NG(P)N1∩NG(P)N2. Since PNi⊴NG(P)Ni, i\mathchar611,2, we have PN1∩PN2⊴T.
From N1∩N2\mathchar611 and lemma 1.1(3) follows that PN1∩PN2\mathchar61P(N1∩N2)\mathchar61P. Therefore P⊴T and T\mathchar61NG(P). Then
NG(P)(N1∩N2)\mathchar61NG(P)\mathchar61NG(P)N1∩NG(P)N2.
By lemma 1.2 NG(P)∩N1N2\mathchar61(NG(P)∩N1)(NG(P)∩N2). □
Lemma 1.4. [19, lemma 3.9]. *If H/K is a chief factor of a group G and p∈π(H/K),
then G/CG(H/K) does not contain nonidentity normal p-subgroups, and
Fp(G)≤CG(H/K).
*
Let F be a class of groups.
By π(F)
we denote the set of all prime divisors of orders of groups belonging to F; Fπ is the class of all
π-groups belonging to F;
Fp\mathchar61Fπ for π\mathchar61{p}.
We will use the following notation:
G is the class of all groups,
S is the class of all soluble groups,
N is the class of all nilpotent groups,
N2 is the class of all metanilpotent groups,
NA is the class of all groups G with the nilpotent commutator subgroup G′.
A minimal non-F-group is
a group G such that G∈F,
and any proper subgroup of G belongs to F.
A minimal non-N-group
is called a Schmidt group.
A class of groups F is called a formation, if
- F is a homomorph, i.e., from G∈F
and N⊴G it follows that G/N∈F and
- from Ni⊴G and G/Ni∈F (i\mathchar611,2)
it ensues that G/N1∩N2∈F.
A formation F is called saturated, if
from G/Φ(G)∈F it follows that
G∈F. A formation F is called hereditary
if, together with each group, F contains all its subgroups.
By symbol GF denotes the F-residual of G; i.e., the least normal subgroup of G for which G/GF∈F.
A function f:P→{formations} is called a local screen.
By LF(f) we denote the class of all groups G with G/CG(H/K)∈f(p) for each chief factor H/K and each p∈π(H/K).
A formation F is called local, if there exists a local screen f
with F\mathchar61LF(f).
A screen f of a formation F is called inner if
f(p)⊆F for each prime p.
An inner screen f of F is called the maximal inner
if, for its every inner screen h, we have h(p)⊆f(p) for every prime p.
Lemma 1.5 [19, lemma 4.5]. *Let F\mathchar61LF(f).
A group G belongs to F if and only if G/Fp(G)∈f(p)
for each p∈π(G).
*
We give some knows properties of F-subnormal and K-F-subnormal subgroups.
Lemma 1.6.
Let F
be a non-empty formation, H and K are subgroups of a group G,
and N⊴G.
(1)* If H F-sn G (H K-F-sn G)
then HN/N F-sn G/N (HN/N K-F-sn G/N).*
(2)* If N≤H and H/N F-sn G/N
(H/N K-F-sn G/N) then H F-sn G
(H K-F-sn G).*
(3)* If H F-sn G (H K-F-sn G)
then HN F-sn G (HN K-F-sn G).*
(4)* If H F-sn K (H K-F-sn K)
and K F-sn G (K K-F-sn G)
then H F-sn G (H K-F-sn G).*
(5)* If all composition factors of G belong to F then every subnormal subgroup of G is F-subnormal.*
(6)* Let p be a prime and let G be a p-group. If Zp∈F
then all subgroups of G are F-subnormal.
*
Lemma 1.7.
Let F
be a non-empty hereditary formation, H≤G and M≤G.
(1)* If H F-sn G (H K-F-sn G)
then H∩M F-sn M (H∩M K-F-sn M).*
(2)* If H F-sn G and M F-sn G
(H K-F-sn G and M K-F-sn G)
then H∩M F-sn G (H∩M K-F-sn G).*
(3)* If GF≤H then H F-sn G
(H K-F-sn G).*
(4)* If H F-sn G (H K-F-sn G)
then Hx F-sn G (Hx K-F-sn G)
for any x∈G.

2. Properties of the Class wπ∗F
Recall that the class of groups wπ∗F is defined as follows:
wπ∗F\mathchar61(G ∣ π(G)⊆π(F) and every Sylow q-subgroup of G is strongly F-subnormal in G, where q∈π∩π(G)).
The following example shows that wπ∗F\mathchar61F in the general case.
Example 2.1. Let F\mathchar61N3 be the formation of all soluble groups whose nilpotent length is ≤3.
Take the symmetric group S4\mathchar61M of degree 4.
By [30, theorem B. 10.9] there exists an irreducible and faithful M-module U over the field F3 of 3 elements.
Consider the semidirect product G\mathchar61[U]M.
Note that the nilpotent length of G is 4 and π(G)\mathchar61{2,3}. Since S is a minimal non-N2-subgroup, we deduced that
G is minimal non-N3-group.
It is easy to see that the normalizers of its Sylow subgroups are F-subnormal subgroups in G, but G
does not belong to F.
Definition 2.2. *A class of groups F is called SH-closed, if from G∈F it follows that every Hall subgroup of G belongs to F.
*
Proposition 2.3.
Let F be a non-empty formation and π⊆P.
(1)* If π1 is a set of primes and π⊆π1 then
wπ1∗F⊆wπ∗F.*
(2)* Nπ∩π(F)⊆wπ∗F.*
(3)* wπ∗F\mathchar61wπ∩π(F)∗F.*
(4)* wπ∗F is a homomorph.*
(5)* If a formation F1⊆F then wπ∗F1⊆wπ∗F.*
Proof.
(1): Let G∈wπ1∗F, q∈π∩π(G) and Q be any Sylow q-subgroup of G. Since q∈π1∩π(G), we have
NG(Q) F-sn G. Hence
wπ1∗F⊆wπ∗F.
(2): Let G∈Nπ∩π(F). Then π(G)⊆(π∩π(F))⊆π(F). Since NG(P)\mathchar61G for every P∈Syl(G), by definition 1 it follows that G∈wπ∗F.
(3): From (1) it follows that
wπ∗F⊆w∗π∩π(F)F.
Let G∈w∗π∩π(F)F. Since
π(G)⊆π(F), we have
π∩π(F)∩π(G)\mathchar61π∩π(G). Consequently,
if q∈π∩π(G), then in G the normalizer of every Sylow q-subgroup is F-subnormal. So G∈wπ∗F and
wπ∗F\mathchar61w∗π∩π(F)F.
(4): To prove that wπ∗F is a homomorph,
let G∈wπ∗F, N⊴G and p∈π∩π(G/N).
Consider H/N∈Sylp(G/N).
By Lemma 1.1(2) H/N\mathchar61PN/N for some Sylow p-subgroup P of G.
From G∈wπ∗F it follows that NG(P) F-sn G.
Then by Lemma 1.1(1) and Lemma 1.6(1)
NG/N(H/N)\mathchar61NG(P)N/N F-sn G/N. From here and π(G/N)⊆π(G)⊆π(F) we have that G/N∈wπ∗F. So
wπ∗F is a homomorph.
(5): Let G∈wπ∗F1. Then π(G)⊆π(F1)⊆π(F).
From q∈π∩π(G) it follows that every Q∈Sylq(G) is strongly K-F1-subnormal in G. If NG(Q)\mathchar61G, then NG(Q) F-sn G. Suppose that a maximal chain of subgroups
NG(Q)\mathchar61H0\mathchar60H1\mathchar60…\mathchar60Hn\mathchar61G exists and HiF1≤Hi\mathchar451
for i\mathchar611,…,n.
From Hi/HiF1∈F1⊆F we have HiF⊆HiF1≤Hi\mathchar451. Hence NG(Q) F-sn G. So wπ∗F1⊆wπ∗F.
□
Theorem 2.4.
Let F be a non-empty hereditary formation and π⊆P.
Then
(1)* F⊆w∗F⊆wπ∗F,*
(2)* wπ∗F is an SH-closed formation,*
(3)* wπ∗F\mathchar61wπ∗(wπ∗F).*
Proof.
(1): From Lemma 1.7(3) it follows that F⊆w∗F.
From π⊆P and Proposition 2.3(1) we conclude that
w∗F⊆wπ∗F.
(2): To prove SH-closure of wπ∗F,
let G∈wπ∗F
and let H be a Hall subgroup of G. Then π(H)⊆π(G)⊆π(F). Let q∈π∩π(H) and S be a Sylow q-subgroup
of H. Since S∈Sylq(G), we have NG(S) F-sn G. By Lemma 1.7(1) NH(S)\mathchar61(NG(S)∩H) F-sn H. Therefore H∈wπ∗F.
By Proposition 2.3(4) wπ∗F is a homomorph.
Let us proved that wπ∗F is closed under subdirect products. Suppose that is false, and let G be a counterexample with ∣G∣ as small as possible. Then there exists a subgroup Ni⊴G such that G/Ni∈wπ∗F, i\mathchar611,2, but
G/N1∩N2∈/wπ∗F.
We note that from π(G/Ni)⊆π(F), i\mathchar611,2, it follows that π(G/N1∩N2)⊆π(F).
By the choice of G we can assume that N1∩N2\mathchar611.
Let p∈π∩π(G) and R∈Sylp(G).
Since RNi/Ni is a Sylow p-subgroup
of G/Ni and G/Ni∈wπ∗F,
we have NG/Ni(RNi/Ni) F-sn G/Ni, i\mathchar611,2.
By Lemmas 1.1(1) and 1.6(2) NG(R)Ni F-sn G,
i\mathchar611,2. From Lemma 1.7(2) it follows NG(R)N1∩NG(R)N2 F-sn G.
From Proposition 1.3 we conclude that
NG(R)N1∩NG(R)N2\mathchar61NG(R)(N1∩N2)\mathchar61NG(R) F-sn G.
We have the contradiction to the choice of G. So wπ∗F
is closed under subdirect products.
(3): Denote X\mathchar61wπ∗F. Let G∈X. Then π(G)⊆π(F). By (1) we have that F⊆X. Therefore π(G)⊆π(X).
Let q∈π∩π(G) and Q∈Sylq(G). From G∈X it follows that NG(Q) F-sn G. Assume that NG(Q)\mathchar61G. Then there is a maximal chain of subgroups NG(Q)\mathchar61H0\mathchar60H1\mathchar60…\mathchar60Hn\mathchar61G such that HiF≤Hi\mathchar451
for i\mathchar611,…,n. By (2) X is a formation. Therefore from Hi/HiF∈F⊆X it follows that HiX≤HiF≤Hi\mathchar451. This means that NG(Q) X-sn G. If NG(Q)\mathchar61G, then NG(Q) X-sn G. So G∈wπ∗X and X⊆wπ∗X is proved.
Suppose that X\mathchar61wπ∗X.
Let G be the group of minimal order in
wπ∗X\textbackslashX. Then π(G)⊆π(X)⊆π(F). Since G∈X, there exists P∈Sylp(G) such that p∈π∩π(G) and NG(P) is not F-subnormal in G.
We note that NG(P) X-sn G.
Then NG(P)\mathchar61G and there exists a maximal chain of subgroups NG(P)\mathchar61H0\mathchar60H1\mathchar60…\mathchar60Hn\mathchar451\mathchar60Hn\mathchar61G such that HiX≤Hi\mathchar451
for i\mathchar611,…,n. Since NG(P)\mathchar61NHi(P), NHi(P)HiX≤Hi\mathchar451 and Hi/HiX∈X, we have NHi(P)HiX/HiX\mathchar61NHi/HiX(PHiX/HiX) F-sn Hi/HiX. By Lemma 1.6(2) NHi(P)HiX F-sn Hi for i\mathchar611,…,n. Therefore HnX\mathchar61GX⊆NG(P). From the maximality of NG(P) in H1 it follows that NG(P) F-sn H1. So n\mathchar611. Suppose that n\mathchar612. Then by Lemma 1.7(1) NG(P)\mathchar61NG(P)∩NG(P)H2X F-sn NG(P)H2X. From NG(P)H2X F-sn H2 we conclude that NG(P) F-sn H2\mathchar61G. This is the contradiction with the choice of G. So, we can assume that n≥3 and NG(P) F-sn Hn\mathchar451. Since NG(P)HnX≤Hn\mathchar451, by Lemma 1.7(1) we have NG(P)\mathchar61NG(P)∩NG(P)HnX F-sn NG(P)HnX. From NG(P)HnX F-sn G it follows that NG(P) F-sn G. This contradicts the choice of G. So X\mathchar61wπ∗X.

3. Formations F for which wπ∗F\mathchar61F
This section focuses on (2) of Problem.
Lemma 3.1.
(1)* The class La(1) is a hereditary saturated Fitting formation.*
(2)* Let G be a soluble group, Φ(G)\mathchar611. G is a minimal non-La(1)-group if and only if the following statements hold:*
1)* ∣G∣\mathchar61pαqβ, lp(G)\mathchar611, lq(G)\mathchar612, l(G)\mathchar613;*
2)* G has precisely three conjugate classes of maximal subgroups, whose representatives have the following structure:
Gp⋋Gq∗, the Schmidt group, F(G)⋋Gp and Gq⋋Φ(Gp),
where Gq\mathchar61F(G)⋋Gq∗.*
Proof. (1): The statement follows directly from the fact that La(1)\mathchar61∩Gp′NpGp′ for all p∈P.
(2): The statement is Lemma 4.1 in [31]. □
Lemma 3.2.
Let G be a biprimary group and let G∈La(1). Then G is metanilpotent.
Proof. Let G be a counterexample of minimal order to the statement of the lemma. Since N2 is a hereditary saturated formation, the group G\mathchar61NM, where N is a unique minimal normal subgroup of G and M is a maximal subgroup of G, moreover, N is an abelian p-group, p is some prime, M is a Schmidt group with a normal p-subgroup. From Op(M)\mathchar611 we conclude that p-length of G is 2. This contradicts the fact that G∈La(1). □
Lemma 3.3.
Let F be a non-empty hereditary formation and let G be a soluble group. If G∈La(1), G\mathchar61NG(P) and NG(P)∈F for all P∈Syl(G), then G∈F.
Proof. Let G be a counterexample of minimal order to the statement of the lemma. Let N is a minimal normal subgroup of G. We will prove that G/N∈F. If G/N\mathchar61NG/N(H/N) for all H/N∈Syl(G/N), then G/N∈F by the choice of G.
If G/N\mathchar61NG/N(H/N) for some H/N∈Sylq(G/N), then H/N\mathchar61QN/N for some Q∈Sylq(G) and G\mathchar61NG(Q)N.
Since G is solvable and G\mathchar61NG(Q), we conclude that NG(Q) is a maximal subgroup of G and NG(Q)∩N\mathchar611.
From here G/N≅NG(Q)∈F. If K is a minimal normal subgroup of G and K\mathchar61N, then G/K∈F. Since F is a formation, we deduce that G/N∩K≅G∈F. This contradicts to the choice of G. Consequently N is the unique minimal normal subgroup of G. Since G is soluble, we conclude that N is a p-group. From the uniqueness of N it follows that F(G) is a p-group.
By the choice of G imply that π(G)≥2. If F(G)\mathchar61P∈Sylp(G), then p∈π(G/F(G)). This contradicts with G∈La(1). Therefore, F(G)\mathchar61P∈Sylp(G) and G\mathchar61NG(P). This contradiction completes the proof of the lemma. □
Theorem 3.4.
*Let F be a hereditary saturated formation and F⊆La(1).
A group G∈F if and only if
π(G)⊆π(F) and all its Sylow subgroups are strongly K-F-subnormal in G.

Proof.
Necessity. Let G∈F. By Lemma 1.7(3) NG(S)
F-sn G for any Sylow subgroup S of G.
Sufficiency. Let G be a counterexample of minimal order and let N be a minimal normal subgroup of G.
If G\mathchar61N then G is a simple group, because N is the minimal normal subgroup of G. If G≅Zp then from π(G)⊆π(F) it follows that
G∈F. This is the contradiction to the choice of G. Suppose G is a simple non-abelian group and p∈π(G). Let Gp∈Sylp(G). Then NG(Gp)=G. From G∈/F it follows that GF\mathchar61G. By hypothesis
NG(Gp) F-sn G. Then there is a maximal subgroup M of G such that
NG(Gp)⊆M and GF⊆M. This is the contradiction with GF\mathchar61G.
Let N=G. From (1)–(2) of Lemma 1.1, (1) of Lemma 1.6 and hypothesis we have NG/N(H/N) F-sn G/N for all H/N∈Sylq(G/N).
By the choice of G we obtain that G/N∈F. If K is a minimal normal subgroup of
G and K=N, then G/K∈F. Since F is a formation, we conclude that G/N∩K≅G∈F. This is the contradiction with the choice of G. Hence G has the unique minimal normal subgroup N. If Φ(G)=1, then from G/Φ(G)∈F and saturation F it follows that G∈F. This contradicts our assumption. Therefore Φ(G)\mathchar611. In this case
N\mathchar61GF and there is a maximal subgroup M in G such that G\mathchar61NM.
Consider the following cases.
- N is a non-abelian group. Let p∈π(N) and let Gp∈Sylp(G). Then NG(Gp)=G. Otherwise Gp⊴G and
N⊆Gp, since N is the unique minimal normal subgroup of G. But then N is an abelian group. This is contradiction with the proposition.
Consider NG(Gp)N. Let NG(Gp)N\mathchar61G. From NG(Gp) F-sn G we deduce that there is a maximal subgroup W of G such that NG(Gp)⊆W and N\mathchar61GF⊆W. So we have the contradiction G\mathchar61NG(Gp)N⊆W=G.
Now let NG(Gp)N=G. Note that Gp∩N\mathchar61Np∈Sylp(N) and Np\mathchar61Gp∩N⊴NG(Gp)∩N. Since NG(Gp) F-sn G, we see that (NG(Gp)∩N) F-sn N by Lemma 1.7(1). Since N is a minimal normal subgroup of G, we have either NF\mathchar611 or NF\mathchar61N. The case NF\mathchar611 is impossible,
since N is non-abelian, and F⊆S.
Therefore NF\mathchar61N. By [30, proposition A.4.13(a)] N is a direct product of subgroups, each isomorphic with a fixed simple non-abelian group.
If NG(Gp)∩N\mathchar61N, then Np\mathchar61Gp∩N⊴N. By [30, proposition A.4.13(b)] Np is the direct product of a subset of the non-abelian factors of N. This is the contradiction.
If NG(Gp)∩N\mathchar61N, then there is maximal subgroup M of N such that NG(Gp)∩N≤M and NF≤M. We have the contradiction N\mathchar61NF≤M\mathchar61N.
- N is an abelian p-group, p is some prime. From G/N∈F⊆S and N∈S it follows that G is solvable. From the uniqueness of N and Φ(G)\mathchar611 we conclude that G\mathchar61N⋋M, where GF\mathchar61N\mathchar61CG(N)\mathchar61F(G) and M is a maximal subgroup of G, and moreover, M∈F⊆La(1).
Suppose that M is nilpotent. By Lemma 1.4 Op(M)\mathchar611, therefore p∩π(M)\mathchar61∅. It follows that M contains a normal Sylow q-subgroup Mq for some q∈π(M) and q=p. Therefore Mq\mathchar61Gq is a Sylow q-subgroup of the group G. From the uniqueness of N
it follows that NG(Gq)=G. Since M is a maximal subgroup of G and M⊆NG(Gq), we have M\mathchar61NG(Gq). But this contradicts the fact that NG(Gq) F-sn G.
We assume that M is non-nilpotent. Let π(G)\mathchar61{p1,p2,…,pn}, where p1\mathchar61p. Consider the following cases.
i) Let n\mathchar612. Then p∈π(M). By Lemma 1.4 Op(M)\mathchar611. Since M∈La(1), by Lemma 3.2 M∈N2. Therefore M/F(M)
is nilpotent. We note that F(M) is a p2-group. If Q∈Sylp2(M), then Q is a normal subgroup of M, moreover, Q∈Sylp2(G) and NG(Q)\mathchar61M. By hypothesis
NG(Q)\mathchar61M F-sn G. Therefore N\mathchar61GF⊆M and G\mathchar61NM⊆M. This is the contradiction.
ii) Let n≥3.
We will to show that N is a Sylow p-subgroup of G.
By Hall’s theorem G\mathchar61G1G2⋯Gn, where G1, G2,…,Gn are pairwise permutable Sylow p1-, p2-, … , pn-subgroups of G, respectively.
Let Ai\mathchar61G1Gi, where i\mathchar611. Since
∣Ai∣\mathchar60∣G∣, NG(G1)∩Ai\mathchar61NAi(G1) F-sn Ai and NG(Gi)∩Ai\mathchar61NAi(Gi) F-sn Ai, we have Ai∈F.
From ∣π(Ai)∣\mathchar612 by Lemma 3.2 it follows that Ai∈N2.
We note that N⊆Ai. Since N\mathchar61CG(N) and p1\mathchar61p, we see that F(Ai) is a p-group. From Ai∈N2 it follows that Ai/F(Ai)∈N. Then G1/F(Ai)⊴Ai/F(Ai) and G1⊴Ai. So, Gi⊆Ai⊆NG(G1). Hence G⊆NG(G1) and G1⊴G.
From G1∩M⊴M and Op(M)\mathchar611 it follows that G1∩M\mathchar611. So G1\mathchar61N∈Sylp(G).
Thus M is a p′-Hall subgroup of G. Let i∈{2,…,n} and S∈Sylpi(M). Then S∈Sylpi(G) and NG(S)=M. We note that NG(S)=G because N\mathchar61CG(N) and N is a p-group, p=pi.
We will to show that NG(S)∈F.
Suppose that NG(S)∩N\mathchar611. Since G/N∈F and F is a hereditary formation, it follows that
NG(S)N/N≅NG(S)/NG(S)∩N≅NG(S)∈F.
Suppose now that NG(S)∩N\mathchar61D=1. Then D⊴NG(S) and S⊴NG(S). We have S×D⊴NG(S) and
NG(S)\mathchar61(S×D)⋋R, where R is a {p1,pi}′-Hall subgroup of NG(S). From G∈S by Hall’s theorem we deduce that SR≤Mx for some x∈G and there is a {pi}′-Hall subgroup H from G such that DR≤H. From Syl(H)⊆Syl(G) it follows that NG(L) F-sn G for any L∈Syl(H). By Lemma 1.7(1) NH(L)\mathchar61NG(L)∩H F-sn H. Then H∈F by the choice of G. We note that Mx≅M∈F. Since F is hereditary we have NG(S)/D≅SR∈F and NG(S)/S≅DR∈F. We obtain NG(S)/S∩D≅NG(S)∈F.
Consider T\mathchar61NNG(S).
From Lemma 1.7(1) NG(S) F-sn T.
By theorem 15.10 [19] T∈F. Let h be the maximal inner local screen formation F.
By Lemma 1.5 [19] it follows that T/Fp(T)∈h(p). Because N≤Fp(T) and N\mathchar61CG(N), we have
Op′(T)\mathchar611 and N\mathchar61Fp(T). Therefore T/N∈h(p).
Then NG(S)N/N≅NG(S)/NG(S)∩N∈h(p). Since F is
a hereditary formation, it follows that h(p) is a hereditary
formation, by the theorem 4.7 [19]. Then (NG(S)∩M)N/N≅NG(S)∩M/NG(S)∩N∩M≅NG(S)∩M∈h(p). We note that NG(S)∩M\mathchar61NM(S). Therefore NM(S)∈h(p). By Lemma 3.4 M∈h(p).
Then G/Fp(G)≅M∈h(p). By Lemma 1.5 G∈F, which contradicts the choice of G.
